"Yeah, I don't mind if you kill them because for technical reasons this is preferable for the salvation of their soul, they just have to be okay with it."

"I dunno exactly how much consent they're allowed to give but presumably someone going for Good would know." She has not killed anyone before but she is not planning to suddenly develop squeamishness, this is extremely not the time. "Maybe we can pick someone up in Tian Xia, I think Good people in the Inner Sea are suspicious of Chelish ones. And we can get those communication mirrors while we're at it."

"Sure, I think the machine translation's working well enough to do written back and forth even if it can't derive how anything's pronounced!" ...peanut gallery back home where in Tian Xia would be opportune?

Goka, probably, big international port city with lots of churches and lots of candidates for a bizarre sketchy suicide mission, and also magic item stores.

 

Some demons are partisans of the country that had a communist revolution and is having a bad time now but it'd work FINE if they were post-scarcity, which they could be!

Cam sympathizes with this opinion but is not currently loose!

Who wants to be named on the circle (and has many nominations to be this person from other parties)?

Permalink

There are some top contenders and then some time for people to write in comments on the top contenders. Is he planning to sabotage the circle so there'll be a loose demon on Golarion, it really seems like Golarion could use a (well-vetted) loose demon.

Permalink

He was not planning on totally loose but he was planning on reasonable long-term bindings, sort of like what they have the Martian power grid fairies with adopted children on but adapted for apsels.

Permalink

Okay but totally loose they could just, you know, modernize the place. It'd be really good.

"I'm going to need local clothes and spellsilver to barter for comms mirrors and pay off our subject," she says. "Also I have no idea how to find them - we could put up an ad but that attracts a lot of attention, I assume it's not good enough to grab a kid who's neutral -"

Permalink

"I do not want to perform the experiment on a child, no. Could try one of the local churches? Those'll have readings, right?"

Permalink

"Yes but I would expect them to report to their gods and to be unusually unwilling to work with an Evil person."

Permalink

"Why would it be a problem if they reported to their gods?"

Permalink

“Do you want gods involved in our plans, I do not want gods involved in our plans.”

Permalink

"Depends on the gods!"

Permalink

"It really doesn't! Any of them could crush or enslave us both! And obviously they are entitled to do so if it occurs to them but I don't see a lot of reason to encourage it occurring to them."

Permalink

"That's an interesting definition of 'entitled'. Okay, do you want to try, like, some wizard school, or...?"

Permalink

"The obvious thing is just to put up an announcement where people post opportunities for adventurers, offering good money plus a resurrection to run a suicidal experiment, open to Good people only. If we want less publicity than that...we could try approaching people privately one on one? That'll take a long time, though. I don't suppose you'd be all right with killing them without asking and then resurrecting them and giving them enough money they're not in retrospect mad about it?"

Permalink

"Running the ad is fine assuming we make sure we source the resurrection, which as I understand it will require going to churches. I do not want to ambush people and then buy them off, especially since I do not know what the markets for various commodities are about to do."

Permalink

"Magic item prices're going to hang in there, you need specialist labor to make them. But that's fair enough. 

....can you conjure for the information of whether someone is Good."

Permalink

"I don't think so."

Permalink

"Ugh. Okay. We can find a local neutral church to source it at, Nethys or something, and advertise where adventurers hang out."

Permalink

"I'm okay with that."

Permalink

There's so much at stake here that it would obviously be much better for their interests to just buy a slave and raise them afterwards and send them home rich enough to buy a barony and also it'd make someone way better off unlike this plan which just makes a Good adventurer slightly richer, but Carissa doesn't really expect Good to care about those kinds of things at all and probably it would be bad for rapport to even raise the argument. "I can't write the posters; can you?"

Permalink

"I'll write 'em, you comprehend languages to see if they look egregiously stupid?"

Permalink

"Yeah. I can tell you what I want them to say in Tian, if that helps, but there's no Tongues for writing."
